I miss the people, the atmosphere, the love of God, the place and the freedom of PL. Most of all, my close friends from PL. CWB, DATERS, Besties and TheBees. Those days when all we cared about was "Where to hang out after school?" "Where to cycle?" "What to play?", the never-ending lineups of programmes we had a month before the holidays started and "Huh, tomorrow got test ah?". The last minute revision sessions that end up becoming catchup sessions. The times we tried memorising stuff together but end up singing and pretending to memorise with songs. The times where having fun was all we cared "Just pon lah!" and CCA didn't matter very much. Until the dawning of Tertiary life..
"Cannot pon already, CCA points are damn important!" "Crap, Olvls are like in 10days and we are still taking neoprints" "Okay. It's here already. Let's prayyyyy!!"
Lives took a turn for a 180d change. Mine for one, did. Perhaps it was because I didn't do well for the bigOs and finally got jolted up from my merry-making. Today as I was into the school, I saw this crummy signboard that said "Welcome to YJC". All of a sudden, I saw myself as a freshman walking into the school for the very first time. I remember feeling very apprehensive as to what might come my way in my two years here. But right now, I'm already halfway through what they call the Block Tests. The name is self-explanatory, these tests are meant to block your minds and they are very successful in doing that.
Things in Tertiary institutes are very different from secondary school, at least in my opinion. I've mentioned before about how PLlites have been so sheltered in PL and I guess that's what is making me feel so ugh now. Siewling was relating to me about her life in TP also and I guess we're in the same boat. We have to get used to it anyhow because "Life gets worse everyday" (quote Sumiko Seet, author of Let's Die Tomorrow - bestseller in 2005).
In the past, whenever I saw a spider, I would catch it and keep it in a transparent box to watch it spin its web and feed it ants. But today when I saw one jumping from my notebook to my notes, I paused for a moment to stare at it and then I killed it with another book. I'm at the 180d mark. Perhaps only Siewling would understand the full meaning of this.
Can't wait to go for the PL Music Marathon coming Friday -- it's going to be a 90hour non-stop singing/music event to commemorate 90years of God's goodness upon our school :D
Your grace that covers meYour peace that calms meYour strength that perfects meYour love, overwhelms me
I love You with all of my life

Mr. Brown and Mr. Miyagi makes me laugh to myself.
HAHAHAHAHA! :D :D :D
